Thelma
Thelma Post isn’t your average 93-year-old grandmother – she’s tenacious, determined, and on a mission. After getting conned by a scammer pretending to be her grandson, she teams up with a friend (and his motorized scooter) on a wild adventure to take back what’s hers.
The feature directorial debut of Josh Margolin, THELMA is a action-comedy that gives veteran Oscar®️ nominee June Squibb (NEBRASKA) her first leading role. Inspired by a real-life experience of Margolin’s own grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business.

Reviews:
“Thelma is warm, accomplished and extremely witty - poking affectionate fun at the ageing process and proving you're never too old to get stuck into an adventure.” (Radio Times)
“The tone from the debut feature writer and director Josh Margolin is exquisitely well-judged, offsetting deeply felt melancholy with wry humour.” (The Times)
“Surprisingly exciting and laugh-out-loud funny, Thelma is a warm-hearted joyride. If anything, it’ll make you really want to pick up the phone and call your own grandma.” (Empire Magazine)
